Bible Study (Honesty)

Week 26 Honesty

Honesty is essential in building strong personal relationships. We must be able to trust each other as Christians. Our credibility is especially important in our witness to nonbelievers. Scripture encourages us to back up our witness with honest behavior.

1. Circle key words and phrases in the following Scriptures.

Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:2

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its
practices.
COLOSSIANS 3:9

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
ROMANS 12:17

* For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men.
2 CORINTHIANS 8:21

The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight. . . . The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
PROVERBS 11:1, 3

An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk, but a righteous man escapes
trouble. . . . A truthful witness gives honest testimony, but a false witness tells lies.
PROVERBS 12:13, 17

2 Corinthians 4:2 2
Corinthians 8:21
Colossians 3:9
Proverbs 11:1, 3

Be honest now, no1, have you really been deceived for 26 weeks into thinking that RBHILL himself prepared these studies? I'm pretty sure he gave a citation for the whole series in the first one.
